Chapter 485
Ryleigh was leaving when Quincy said, “Mr. Goldmann has his reasons.”
Ryleigh paused and turned around, but Quincy had already gone back inside. In the study. Nolan looked
out the window and remembered something. The coldness he exuded turned bone-chilling, and Quincy
felt that when he got to the door.
“Mr. Goldmann, Ms. Hills left,” he said.
“Mm.” Nolan was focused, but he just nodded.
Quincy frowned when Nolan didn’t ask. “Mr. Goldmann, are you not going to ask why she was here?”
Nolan didn’t look affected, but the hand on his leg was clutched tight while his eyes were cold. “It doesn’t
matter anymore.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuincy glanced at him and didn’t say anything more. Saying that it didn’t matter was a lie. Anyone could
tell how important Maisie was to him and how she was the dearest person to him.
If it didn’t matter, he wouldn’t have investigated the accident from three years ago and tried to find news
of her all over the world, nor would he have sent someone to Morwich…
He hadn’t searched for Maisie himself because he was afraid of losing control if he saw her. At that
moment, Quincy answered a call, and he was shocked. “Are you sure?”
The person on the other end confirmed, and then Nolan looked at him. “What’s wrong?”
Quincy moved the phone away and said, “The de Armas, something happened.”
Nolan closed the file and frowned. “Be specific.” Quincy told him, “We have intel that Hernandez was
attacked and has gone missing. Now Roger’s people are taking over the de Armas. It looks like Roger is
helping the Kents.”
Ever since Hernandez had learned about the ploy and manipulation, and after Maisie’s accident, he had
been playing mind games with the Kents, and the two families had been in a terrible feud in Stoslo.
Hernandez had been bullying the Kents, and since they were nobles on Roger’s side, they were his most
useful pawns. If the Kents fell, Roger would have lost an ally among the royal family.
It looked as though Roger was cornered and worried that the de Armas would work together with the
Goldmanns, so he tried to wipe out the de Armas. Once they lost their power, it would affect the
Goldmanns too.
Nolan pressed his lips together, had an idea, and looked up. “Is the election of Stoslo happening this
year?”
“Yes,” Quincy paused, then asked, “Are you.”
Nolan’s eyes darkened. He could guess the reason Roger was rushing to take action. “The candidate is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon his side, so the de Armas’ vote is crucial. What if Hernandez couldn’t attend and someone took his
place?”
Quincy was surprised because if it were true, Roger would pretty much have the government in the palm
of his hands. If that happened, Stoslo would be in a mess.
Nolan suddenly looked outside, his deep eyes looking calmer. He slowly said, “Help me get flight tickets
to Stoslo.”
Quincy was nervous. “But, your health.”
Nolan tapped his finger on the desk and solemnly said, “Book it.” Seeing how adamant he was, Quincy
nodded. When he left, Nolan’s eyes looked foggy.
At Morwich…
It was nighttime at Saint Page. The entire Hanns Palace looked like a black pearl lost in a huge area in
the middle of the city, shining from inside out.
In the brightly lit study, Strix asked to see Maisie.
She went in. “You want to see me, Dad?”
